About the JBL Club 6520

The well-rounded speaker

It's simple. Your factory speakers are getting you down. JBL's Club Series speakers are the clear solution. JBL equipped these Club 6520 6-1/2" coaxial speakers with UV-resistant polypropylene woofers for stellar performance even under the stickiest (or chilliest) environmental conditions — after all, your car door isn't the most forgiving place to reside.

Strong performance

The speaker's patented Plus One™ woofer structure extends the surface area of the cone to give you a better bass experience than other speakers this size. And an edge-driven PEI tweeter expands the high-frequency range, so you'll hear musical details that you never heard from your old speakers.

A match for any system

The Club 6520's low-impedance design safely draws more power from your car stereo to give your music extra punch, but you'll get even better results feeding them power from an outboard amp.

JBL Club 6520, 1986 Honda accord(all original minus stereo)

These speakers are really nice, although for me personally I ran into some touble with them; they bottomed out without having the volume too loud( of course this could be due to my other hardware not being able to keep up with it), they were really annoying to install the front wasn't too bad but the back was a pain given I had to cut parts of my car to be able to get them to fit, and the adapter to be able to get it to fit in my car worked but definitely was a very generic adapter so I have to cut parts of it off to be able to get it in.
P.S. No pictures since the covers that came with it didn't fit at all without completely taking my car apart, and I wasn't really thinking about it while putting them in given it took probably around 2-4 hours to put them in.

JBL should be ashamed to have their name on these

I am extremely disappointed with these speakers and JBL. I have used JBL speakers in multiple vehicles over the years and they have always sounded great. Unfortunately, these "Club" series speakers do not live up to the JBL name IMO. They sound far worse than my factory speakers. Tinny highs, and very poor bass. I thought maybe the wiring harness were reversed and the polarity was off, nope. They're just bad speakers. I will be pulling these out and replacing them very soon. What a waste of time and money. Do yourself a favor and buy any other speakers.

Daniel, we're sorry you're disappointed with your speakers. Whenever you are not completely satisfied with anything you purchase from Crutchfield, please contact our Customer Support team at 1-800-955-9091. Purchases from Crutchfield can be returned or exchanged within 60 days of the purchase.

JBL Club 6520

overall great sound- they run fine on low power, but they really come alive when the power or volume rise. Crisp highs, live mids, but a little lacking on bass- possibly due in part to the door structure and lack of enclosure in my SUV. I think in a properly sealed and sized enclosure they would be 5 stars for swapping into any stock or entry level aftermarket system.

Pros: great bang for the buck
good highs and mids
shallow mount
well made

JBL has never failed me

I used these speakers to replace my older JBL p652's 6.5" rear speakers in my 2004 Dodge Ram, Quad Cab (4 speaker) as recommended by the Crutchfield rep. I was disappointed with the recommendation because these are only 50W RMS and I had asked for comperable to what I had previously which was 75W RMS. I am using these with a Pioneer AVH-2440 and a Sound Ordnance M75 amp. Together it all sounds good and the speakers are doing well; but still not what I was wanting/expecting as comparable to what I had. I was already removed the old speakers and opened the box to install the new ones so I was not going to send them back and have to wait longer.

Pros: JBL quality and sound.

Cons: Speaker seems good but I am still disappointed in the recommendation from the rep as comparable to what I had.

Great volume

Sound pretty good, but surprisingly less bottom end than I was expecting. In fairness these are mounted in my rear deck, so they're in the rather large "enclosure" of my trunk, far too large for speakers of this size. If your not trying to annoy the neighborhood with nauseating bass, these work quite well. I think if I bought them again, I'd put them in my doors or maybe build an enclosure around them in the trunk.

JBL 6520 is a perfect upgrade on a budget!

Sweet deal! The JBLs were a super upgrade on a budget! Just did the front door locations. My first time working on a Toyota Matrix - first door took an hour, second one took about 15 minutes. (I am an expert now! ;-) ) Having ALL the mounting brackets and adapters made the job easy for a first-timer. They sound FANTASTIC with just the factory had unit. So glad I bought from you guys - the expertise you provide is what sets you apart.
NOTE: The Matrix speakers are 4 ohm (printed on the speaker), not 2 ohm as I was advised. Extra bonus: the 6520s are 3 ohm, so they BOOM!

Great sound

Price was great and came recommended by the Crutchfield staff for my vehicle. I installed 2 pair of these in my '12 Civic - doors and rear deck. Sound is better than I expected from 6 1/2's. Great clarity and bass even with the stock radio w/nav. Overall great speakers. A definite upgrade from stock.

JBL Club 6520

Blown away with performance of these 6.5s I bought the 6x9 also and was happy with them but the 6.5 was just a little more amazing so much difference than the stock speakers. I highly recommend these. Clean, clear highs, great bass response

Pros: Clean, crisp highs, great bass response, very efficient

Cons: Not really any, maybe cost (little high) but you get what you buy for

Clear sound but anemic and weak

For the first two weeks I felt the midbass was lacking and couldn't handle bass very well. A tech there told me that they need time to break in. 45 days later there is improvement but they still suck and aren't worth the money. Vocals and instruments are clear, but they just can't handle bass at all, nor do they produce bass compared to say, factory speakers in Hyundai cars or Bose speakers in cars. They come off sounding hollow cus the lower midbass range isn't there. That crucial 70-120 hz range is severely lacking. I listened to my new speakers compared to oem speakers in a Hyundai and I was very disappointed with the Jbls. They don't hit like quality midbasses and can't go low either (they struggle with mainstream music like Keisha and others). Oem Hyundai speakers absolutely destroy these and they are only $90 a pair. I'd give 2 stars for midbass and 4 stars for the tweeter.

JBL Club 6520

I love these speakers! The install was simple (if you've installed speakers before) and I did not have to make any cuts to my door to get the speakers to fit. The sound quality is excellent. I couldn't be happier.

Great value, balance of clarity and bass

Installed 4 JBL Club 6520 to replace the OEM door speakers in my 2014 Subaru Crosstrek. I did not want to deal with the hassle of installing a subwoofer, so I was looking for a speaker set that would have ample bass combined with good clarity. These speakers do just that. The sound is balanced, clear, and warm. Easy to install with very good quality of construction. Crutchfield included the Metra speaker wire adaptors (easy to install and worked perfectly) and Metra speaker mount adaptors (perfect fitment for the front, works for the back although it's a little tricky. Neither require drilling into the door) Overall, very happy with these speakers.

Pros: Good balance of clarity and bass, major improvement over OEM, easy to install, great value

JBL Club 6520

Replaced my old front door stock speakers in my Xterra with these.... big difference in sound quality, love these speakers. Have them paired with my new Kenwood Excelon DDX9904s and they go together nicely, just have to install my MBL Club 9630's this weekend to finish the job.

JBL Club 6520

Great sounding speakers, if you're wanting a bit more bass though i wouldn't recommend them unless you're hooking a sub up to your system. Might end up ordering another stock woofer for my Jetta and use the jbls for something else. Overall though has a great sound, good for the price :)

Pricey but High Quality

A little on the expensive side, but they are high quality speakers. The universal mounting bracket ended up being of no use to us as we could not match any of the holes to the existing configuration in the Mustang, so new holes had to be drilled - something I was trying to avoid. The speakers are in and sound pretty good. I think I have to configure the receiver better because at high volume the base sounds like "popping" out of these speakers.

Clean sound, quality construction

Overall these new speakers sound much better -- admittedly it was a low bar since the old speakers were 18 years old. With some tweaks to the stereo's custom EQ, I can dial-in the perfect sound. There wasn't as much bass as I hoped (thus the 4 star rating), which may be function of the size, location and amplifier characteristics.

Pros: Clean sound, quality construction

Cons: sealing tape/weatherstrip is too thin; adapter could be designed better

Big improvement

Amazing upgrade. Installed on a 2017 RAV4 XLE. My wife was complaining that there was no range, and muddy low end on the stock system. Installed these in all 4 doors. We are using the stock head unit. Wow! These really bring out the sound! The highs are crisp, the mods are clear, and there is even some low end bass. Of course these are no substitute for a subwoofer but she is very happy, which means I am happy. Watching some videos about these speakers, Harmon said that they were designed to extract the most from stock head units by using a lower resistance, I think they succeeded. Also, Crutchfield service was impeccable, fast, and accurate.

JBL Club 6520

These were advised by Crutchfield based on my needs. I'm no expert or educated individual when it comes to sound and speakers. I did a pair of these for the front and a pair for the back. Obviously in a 12 year old vehicle anything would be an improvement. Years ago I replaced the fronts with Alpines of some sort that were available at the time. Given the age of those Alpines and some newer technology I assumed these would sound better regardless. I'm very satisfied with the overall quality, and they sound great based on my type of music.
There were several comments made that they lacked bass and didn't sound good in that way. I don't try to rattle the rear-view mirror off of anyone's car, so to me they sound just fine. I could see how wanting to force everyone to enjoy your taste in music might not make these the right fit, but for what I think is loud I think they sound clean and I enjoy them.

JBL Club 6520

Great product Jbl quality shines through,as always the club series speakers are a great up grade from stock.with just a stock head unit and no amp,they still sound famtastic. I would recommend tbese to anybody! And this was my first purchase from crutchfiel,and i am more then satisfied with the shipping time,product and service all top notch thank you crutchfield!

JBL Club 6520

For the price I am entirely satisfied with these 6.5" JBL 6520 speakers. Installed in the front of a 2005 GMC Canyon base model.
Great highs and mids; by far more clarity and than my stock speakers. Instrumentals feel well defined with each instrument now making an appearance; no more muddying of everything together.
Bass response is acceptable, but at this size in a coaxial speaker I wouldn't expect much more without spending significantly more or sacrificing clarity. I'll likely be looking to add a sub and amp later down the line.

Don't waste your money

Put these in a 2008 Silverado with a jbl get amp. Horrible. They sound worse than the stock.no mids no bass. Does have more clarity nuts not worth the money. I even had them professional installed with Dyno mat and a baffle behind them.

Pros: Little better clarity than stock

Cons: Too expensive for what you get,no mids,no bass. Rather have kept stock no bose

Great combo

Great speakers, combined these speakers, along with JBL tweeters to go with 2 Kicker Hideaways under both seats of 2017 Jeep Wrangler 4 door. These were recommended by Crutchfield since they do have very good highs to go with the Kickers. Great combination.

Dodge Dakota Speaker Upgrade

Not Impressed, from the OEM speakers I was expecting a huge amount of increased performance for speakers of this quality and price. Overall not terrible speakers but if you are like me and listen to R&B, Hip-Hop with other genres of music mixed in you will really miss that bass.
If I hadn't been so happy for buying my first set of after-market speakers and throwing out the OEM's right away I would have put the factory ones right back in and got my money back.

Amazing sounds

These have clear mids and crisp highs. I'm using my stock head unit and it still rocks. Good cuz these are 3 ohms unlike most which are 4. The lows are ok but I that's what subwoofers are for. I installed subs in combination with these and it's amazing.

Good speakers for 1/2 the price

Nice speakers and paid half price, so overall, good purchase for my sons 2009 Honda Civic. would like more bass output, but using factory stock radio, i can't expect too much. The treble is a noticeable improvement.

Sounds Great

These are high quality for the price paid. The fact the Crutchfields threw in the VW wiring harness and instructions made the install a lot easier. Very fast free shipping.No better price anywhere else. I will buy again from Crutchfields.

Pros: High JBL quality that you can afford.

Cons: Bracket did not work in a Jetta, had to drill holes. Still not that difficult.

JBL Club 6520

Very good coaxial speakers for the money. Balanced high pitch from the tweeters with decent punchy, rubbery bass. The set up was complemented by component speakers for the front, a subwoofer and an amp. Would definitely recommend this product.

Pros: Cruthcfield excellent customer service. Timely email responses, and good common sense methods to help customers attain a smooth transaction and hassle free install. Crutchfield service and extra mile customer satisfaction policy is the best in the industry.

Full Sound

These speakers made such an improvement in my 2006 Tucson. They have a good range of highs to lows. I know many people have said that their bass isn't so good. But they need to remember that these speakers are only 6.75 inches wide that you can only expect that the bass wouldn't be as deep! If this is your complaint then put a subwoofer in your car/truck. I have almost always bought JBL speakers and have never regretted it.

JBL 6520

JBL Club 6520, 05 Avalanche
Replaced all 4 factory door speakers with these, bass is less then the factory speaker ( non Bose ) added Ken wood radio all together, overall much improved sound and features from factory, adding a sub soon.

High Quality, Clear sound

For me, Perfect. Beautiful kids and highs. Very clear. Bass is not as strong as Kicker but it works enough if you run with up a little. The bass is very crisp and clear though. I use them in front of 2001 Silverado 1500 ext. Cab. Sounds like a more expensive speaker. Cannot replace a sub.

Sounds Fantastic!

I love these speakers! Great replacement for stock speakers in my 2015 Camaro. The bass is really good after a short break in period, you can feel the difference on your leg from the amount of sound coming out of these. The mids and highs are very crisp and clean. Sunday morning Jazz never sounded so good, even with the top down. I didn't use the generic speaker adapter supplied, I found a custom application specific adapter and used FAST rings to complete a stock like installation.

Nice upgrade from factory speakers

Crutchfield sent me everything I needed to hook up to the factory connections. I am keeping my factory stereo (Ford SYNC3- I don't know the power of my stereo.) These speakers sound very good. Nice bass. I recommend to anyone who are looking to upgrade their factory speakers, while keeping the factory stereo.

JBL Club 6520

Installed two JBL 6520's in rear deck of 1999 Maxima. Excellent installation instructions from Crutchfield. Sound great! Ordered two more and replaced the door speakers. Again excellent instructions from Crutchfield and all four speakers sound awesome.

JBL Club 6x9 and 6.5"

JBL club speakers were just what I was looking for. Wanted to upgrade the sound of my 2017 Tacoma without adding an amp or sub. Put the 6x9 in the front and 6.5" in the back. These things sound a lot better and are definitely louder than the factory speakers. Ultimately I will probably replace but I was in a budget and these speakers made the most sense for the money at the time.

Pros: Price, quality and the Crutchfield experience. Everything I needed except dynomat came in the box.

Cons: Wish I would had bought the 6x9 components and adapters but that was my choice. Sound could be better. But these were budget speakers and an amp is not being used just the factory head unit. Probably about 15w per channel or less RMS.

JBL Club 6520

They are an okay speaker for my set up. i replaced my stock speakers with these and i wasn't impressed at all. They don't get near as loud as my stock speakers not do they have near as much bass. They are good for the upper tones actually they sound amazing but very very little bass or volume. I am going to see about upgrading my stock amp and see if that helps but i may be replacing them before to long

JBL Club 6520

These speakers are a fantastic buy. I just stuck 4 of them in my Subaru, and they sound fantastic. Easily carry their own without a powered amp. My one complaint would be that at higher volumes the high ranges get very "sharp" (think cymbal hits from a band playing, those are the sounds I mean) but that can be fixed with some EQ settings.

JBL all the way

I replaced the stock rear speakers in my 2013 Dodge Challenger with these but ran into a mounting issue. I was only able to line up two of the four mounting holes even with the supplied bracket. This forced me to drill to fit. Not a big deal but the website should reflect a "modified fit." Nevertheless, they sound fantastic and pair very well with the JBL GT7-96's!

Major upgrade!

I installed these in the front and rear doors of my 04 infinity G35 sedan. They sound and handle everything well but the verdict is still out due to the stock Bose HU and amp which will be the final upgrades.

Pros: Sound and handle very well. Sound way better than stock Bose speakers.

JBL Club 6520

Love the speakers. Replaced the woofers in my wife's Mini. The speakers come with good hardware and also foam tape to prevent vibration. Good bass for the size speakers. I would recommend them and would purchase them again.

JBL Club 6520

Put these into a 2000 Toyota Tacoma SR5 Extended Cab behind the seat. These were a remarkable improvement to the stock speakers, even with keeping the stock Toyota stereo, for now. For a mid-range speaker, they have really nice lows and the tweeter is a nice boost to the clarity. The only reason for not giving 5 stars was that the adapter did not fit any of the holes without having to flat file off two pieces of the Toyota's speaker ring. Even then, I had to drill pilot holes as nothing would line up all 4 screws. Frustrating, but got it completed. Excellent speakers and would buy them again.

VSFPH in a box

- Value, Speed, Fit, Performance, Happiness in a box - Fourteen year old JBL minivan car stereo was disabled by a rumbling woofer inside passenger-side door. Gluing the torn margin of the speaker cone extended its life by two days. Mac at Crutchfield helped us find a match and a new pair of speakers, wiring adapters plus instructions were in our hands two days later. Installed and van doors re-assembled in 90 minutes. System sounds better than we'd remembered.

Cons: Minor matter, new speakers' mounting screw holes are spaced about 1/8" closer (diagonally) than original speakers. Merely had to drill 3/32" holes through a channel in rims in original plastic mounting brackets.

Great Audio at a low price

These JBL Club 6520 keep the quality of highs and lows to a non distorted audio. I put these in the rear of a 2003 Nissan Z as replacement of oem style speakers. I'm not disappointed and recommend these if your looking for quality and a lower price

Great Sounding Speakers

These speakers sound great. I went with these to upgrade the speakers in my 2017 Dodge Challenger. Definitely get a great sound, with out the need of installing an aftermarket amp. For the 2017 Challenger you will have to use the provided adapters. Also you will need to create a spacer to go between the speaker and adapter for the speaker to sit flat on the surface of the rear deck. (The provided screws are too long. It will not allow for the speaker to mount as it should.) I simply used the template provided outside of the speaker packaging and used a flap from the shipping box to make the spacer and it worked out great.

Awesome speakers at a Great price!

Awesome speakers at a great price.
We purchased a Honda Accord and the speakers were crap. We did an online search and found these beauties. They are perfect, not too over the top, great sound and easy to install. We recommend these for anyone looking to upgrade their system.

Pros: 1. Great price
2. well made
3. Awesome sound
4. Easy to install
5. Just what you need

Great 6.5" speakers

I love these speakers. I did a total system upgrade and replaced Kenwood speakers with these - BIG difference. BTW, these DO fit in my 2004 GMC Sierra in spite of Crutchfield's warning that they don't - no modification was necessary at all. Don't get the mounting adapters, they come with nifty adapter rings that I used - did the trick just fine. Between two vehicles, these are the 5th set of JBL club speakers of various sizes that I have purchased. These sound second only to the 6x9's. Nice efficient 3 ohm speakers, they don't really need an amp, but I have them paired with a little 45w Kenwood KAC-M1804 and they 'bark' pretty well!

Good highs, a bit heavy on the bass.

Just installed the speakers, received as a Christmas gift.
Regarding the speaker to door adapters, one set worked okay, the second set did not fit the speaker and was not usable. Was able to use the flat adaptor ring that came with the speaker and that mounted okay to the door.
The speaker wire adapters work well.
The speakers sound okay, a bit strong on the bass for my listening preference but okay for use in the truck.
The installation information was very good, no issues or surprises.

Pros: Great installation information provided by Crutchfield. Installation was easy and and no surprises.

Cons: One speaker to door adapter set did not fit the speaker and was unusable.

Great Speakers

I'm not a sound expert ,but these speakers sound great and are much better than the factory speakers . I ended up replacing all 4 door speakers with these . And a good deal as well.
I will continue to buy my auto stereo equipment from Crutchfield.

Yes ! Upgrade the stock ones

Great speakers for the money, crisp clean and articulate just what you would expect from JBL. Sound exceeds my expectations. If you're looking to do a small upgrade to your car;s sound system, these speakers will be your best choice.

JBL Club 6520

Great sound over the stock speakers in my 2015 Toyota Tacoma. Bass is more defined and not muddy like the stock speakers. A good deal at regular price and Crutchfield had them on sale for nearly half off! But wait there's more!...They also included all the hardware i.e.. adaptor rings, wiring harness' and nuts and bolts to make installation a breeze.

OK when on super sale.

Bought them at half price, but had I bought them at full price, they'd have received only 2 stars. Charity is adequate on a stock head unit, though I doubt they'd maintain such clarity with extra power pushing through them. As others have mentioned, no bass, but quality uppers. I would've returned them for a set of comparable level infinities, but having only paid half, I didn't want to lose the ten bucks in shipping them back. I'll just buy a small sub one day.

JBL Club 6520

I don't know why these had such a good rating? They under performed compared to the stock Tacoma speakers on bass response. These don't have any decent base. The mid range is sloppy, but the treble is good. I received these on sale with the adapter rings cables so it made this purchase worth my while for the overall price. I will be swapping these out in the future.

Easy to install

What can I say, they work as advertised. They are slightly better than the factory speakers and were really easy to install myself. Crutchfield had a good sale and the included harness clips and mounting rings were included. Everything worked perfectly. I was hoping for better/more bass but you can't expect too much out of small speakers. Maybe I'll add a sub later.

Pros: very easy to install
installation gear included
very clear middle range and treble

good sound now

2001 PT Cruiser: Front door panels easy removal with on line instructions.Kit with wire connections supplied was a plus.Balances well with JBL that I installed easily at rear panels.Much Better Than Factory.

Good Speakers

These are good speaker, but I was expecting more. I installed these in the rear door of a 2007 Xterra. The JBL Club 5000C components speakers upfront sound superior, however, the rear door sound is not as crisp and lacks some bass. However, they are clean enough to keep, maybe I just need to install a sub-woofer. The speaker adapter fit with ease, I only need to drill two additional holes on each door, installation was quick and easy.

JBL Club 6520

This is a great crisp speaker. The highs and mids sound awesome. Low end is nominal, but if you have bass these speakers are great to fill in all other frequencies. The construction is solid and looks nice. I drive a 94 miata and these speakers cut through all the wind noise at highway speeds. I am pushing 45 rms to them and they hold up well.

Awesome but not as good as previous JBL model

I trust JBL so I ordered these for my new car, 2016 Nissan Versa, but I also have an older Altima that I put JBL GX963's in the back and GX602's in the front. Those are 2 ohm speakers so I'm not sure if that's the difference in the sound compared to these new Club Series. These and my old ones, the clarity will blow you away! Amazing highs and mids. But these Club 6520's seem to lack the bass the previous model installed in my old car has. People thought I had subs in that car. I went to Crutchfield to re-buy them for the new car to be told that these replaced that model, so I bought since I do not want any other kind of speaker. I've tweaked and tweaked my HU, and you can hear the same bass that I could hear in the older JBL's. but isn't as deep and doesn't hit as hard, definitely won't fool anyone and do later need to purchase actual subs. Overall, great buy and can't go wrong with JBL.

JBL Club 6520

I got these on sale which made them a good buy, they get loud and do what i need them to do but if you need something with some more oomph in the low end department i would go with something else. The highs are crisp and the mids are and improvement but nothing special like everything else in this price range. They look cool and feel durable enogh but well see if they stand the test of time

Good speakers

I converted these into component speakers and installed them into my 2002 Camaro SS with Monsoon system. I didn't want to install components and drill into doors for tweeters since the car only has 1700 miles on it. The sound is better than factory with some songs, and not as good with others. This is the closest to factory replacement I could find. Overall, the speakers themselves are nice. The tweeters can get a bit bright and mid woofers can scratch with some songs, but using a factory crossover and wiring the mid woofers up to a 2 ohm factory system can cause this. These are good speakers, I just wish my factoryones wouldn't have blown.

Pros: Was able to re-wire them component style and 3 ohm stable. Price was good too!

Cons: Sounds great with hip-hop, country, and genres other than rock/metal. Sound GOOD (not great) with rock/metal.

JBL Club 6520

Great speakers. I purchased a set of JBL stage 602s for my car and they sounded amazing but they didn't give me a major wow feeling that I wanted. So I am currently returning the 602s and bought the Club 6520s and I am so impressed. Especially since they sound so clear and good from a stock head unit. Not to mention they are easy to install and very reasonably priced.

Pros: Great Highs and Mids. Easy installation.

Cons: Lows are about as good as youll find from a 6 1/2 speaker but need an amp and sub to improve the lows in general.

New speakers

Nice upgrade from the stock speakers. Good mid range and highs. The music I listen to does not have a lot of bass so the weak lows are not a problem. If you want bass get a subwoofer. The speakers work with the stock radio head but I will be replacing that unit someday.. I would buy these speakers again.

Terrible sounding speakers

No noticeable difference in volume or sound with replacing paper cone speakers from Subaru with these much better quality speakers from JBL. Very difficult to install in the rear doors of a Forester. Provided adapters do no fit whatsoever. Holes were needed to be drilled in the doors to accommodate mounting locations which luckily worked with brackets that were included in the JBL box, not the ones Crutchfield provides. Waste of time, effort and money.

Nice sound

These speakers deliver clear, driving sound no matter what genre of music chosen or source (cd, tape, radio).

Pros: Great sound
Plenty of power
Terrific value
Wiring adapter harness worked well ... and it was free!

Cons: Although the instructions for using the adapter ring were lacking, after figuring out how to install the first speaker (making a 4-screw speaker adapt to a 3-screw mounting frame), the second speaker took less than 15 minutes to install.

Excellent upgrade from factory speakers at a great price

These speakers are an excellent upgrade from factory and will hold their own on bass, mid, and treble although like any setup you'd be better with a sub. I hooked these up to a Kenwood with 18 RMS 50 watts max and they sound great, no need for a separate amp. Paired with JBL club speakers in the back and my truck has a great clear sound. As always crutchfield provides clear instructions for install and good brackets to assure the product fits and easily installs, great service from them and while they can be pricier than some other options it's well worth it in my opinion to support a good company with great customer support.

Great for rear speakers

I got these for my rear panel speakers. The JBL Club added great balance between my front JBL speakers and the Sub in the rear. The sound comes out clear and louder than the original factory speakers. Like with the front speakers I sound proofed the area around where the speaker is mounted and it made the sound that much better. Easy to install with Crutchfields instructions.

Product Research

Features

Plus One+ Woofer Cones: Each speaker uses a cone larger than
other speakers of the same size. This is accomplished by using a unique basket
design and hi-roll surround. The Plus One+ design offers greater bass output and
an increase in efficiency.

Tweeter: Each speaker has a PEI (Poly-Ether-Imide) balanced
dome tweeter. PEI is a polymer film that produces a wide soundstage for superior
imaging.

High-Output Design: The 3Ω voice coil design compensates
for the high in-line resistance of small gauge factory wiring, extracting more
power from factory (or aftermarket) receivers. This results in clearer, richer
sound for the listener.

Mounting: Without an adapter, the Club 6520 speakers fit
standard 6¾" applications. Given their required cutout, they will also fit many
6½" applications without an adapter, but new screw holes must be drilled. Using
the included adapter brackets, they can be mounted in a wide variety of 6½" and
6¾" applications, without any modification. (Using the adapter brackets adds
approximately ¼" to the speaker's mounting height.) Please enter you vehicle
information to confirm fit.

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.
In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.
